Also, according to the Olympus focusing screen info, you can use a 1-8
screen.  This is designed for lenses 300mm and longer.  1-7 is a possibility
too.
Strangely enough, I have had good luck with a 1-12 screen.  Olympus states
this is designed for macro and microscopy work, but I use it often with long
telephotos.  I believe Frank van Lindert uses the 1-12 also.

When using the 1-13, or the 1-3, try using just 1/2 of the split image.
Sometimes it can give a clear image of the object you are trying to focus.
If that's all you've got, it can be rather satisfactory.

Would a 2-4 screen without central focussing aids be the
answer for me?
According to the The Unofficial Olympus OM Sales Information File at
http://www.veluwen.demon.nl/om-sif/findergroup/focusingscreens.htm the 2-4
screen is suitable for super telephotography,

Snip!
I just recently tried a 2-4 so I'll give you my thoughts for its use with
"super teles".
